Quotes:

”With its combination of animation and live actors, the pace is just the right speed for young children. The music is cheery and upbeat; the lessons are valuable and relevant. The two characters on the DVD take the viewer through life skills like setting the table, tying shoes, and making the bed, academic and pre-academic skills like counting, learning their letters and writing their name, as well as social/play skills like playing with blocks and following directions. Certain lessons are repeated several times for optimal learning. Not only will these lessons promote school readiness in terms of skills, they will also help assure children nervous about starting school that they will have a positive experience.” –Parents’ Choice Recommended, 2005

“These are the perfect skills for starting kindergarten.” –Belynda Counts, kindergarten teacher for over 20 years

“You can preview excerpts from this DVD online at www.rocknlearn.com. Reading a review is one thing, but seeing it for yourself BEFORE you buy is even better. You can even let your child view the excerpts and see if he/she appears interested in the DVD, which is what I did.” –Parent, Amazon.com – Five Star Review

Getting Ready for Kindergarten – “This video is a great way for your little one to prepare for school. Follow Joey and Jill as they prepare for kindergarten and see what their friend Molly has to teach them. Children benefit from a visual learning experience with this video that is very well produced. Learn about buttoning, zipping and getting dressed, tying shoes with the ‘bunny ear method,’ sorting by colors and shapes, how to hold a pencil and scissors properly, size comparisons, drawing a person, printing numbers, recognizing the letters of the alphabet, left/right, following directions and more.” –Dr. Toy’s 10 Best Audio/Video, 2005
